Chapter 19: The more difficult it is, the more we have to lose money

"This, this, this, this, this, this... one of each!"

When this voice came out, all the other customers in the room were stunned. Some people who were choosing and hesitating whether to buy a furnace tripod suddenly heard a bang, and the things in their hands rolled to the ground, and they were stunned on the spot.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Chu Tianxiao.

"This... young master? What did you say just now?" At this time, the waiter was obviously not qualified. There was a loud bang, and a shopkeeper with a fat face walked up with heavy steps, asking with a look of panic, shock and expectation.

Chu Tianxiao didn't look at him, but just pointed randomly again: "This, this... this, this, one of each!"

As soon as this move was made, everyone in the room was simply stunned - because Chu Tianxiao's pointing this time was exactly the same as the one just now!

"Oh My God… "

"I've seen a lot, a lot of things... He just points without even looking, buys whatever he points at, and never repeats the same thing. Whose young master is this..."

"The problem is, this is Baoxuanju! The home of the Dinglu in Tianjue City, Baoxuanju can easily cost over 500,000,000 yuan! Who dares to play like this here?"

"What a spendthrift..."

"I give up. I thought my luck had turned and I had some money, but now I see... Oh, I better leave."

"Rich people... this is a rich family!"

There was a lot of discussion in the room, and even the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and didn't react for a long time - going back twenty years, the shopkeeper thought he had received many dignitaries, but absolutely no one of them had visited Baoxuan Pavilion!

Absolutely not!

The shopkeeper was just wondering how to respond, but Mu Liuling had already stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "Young Master... stop making a fuss. Not to mention that the treasures that can be refined in the wasteland under our name do not need such a good cauldron, even this number... is too much..."

Mu Liuling had another hidden thought that he hadn't said - Young Master, we only have about 3 million yuan to spend on this battle, can you please not act like a normal person at this time? You don't spend money where you should, but you squander money where you don't need to... Young Master, do you think you're losing too slowly

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao already knew what Mu Liuling meant, and couldn't help but smile: "Liuling, the young master is going to teach you a lesson, that is - the more difficult the struggle situation is, the more you have to lose money! This is the secret of being a loser! Have you realized it?"

Mu Liuling held his forehead, speechless.

Chu Tianxiao tapped his chin: "Well, but you are right... this number is a bit too much."

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper who had reacted became anxious on the spot. Chu Tianxiao had just ordered six or seven in a row. If these were really sold, wouldn't the profit amount go up? Thinking about the profit, the shopkeeper was salivating. Just as he was about to persuade them, Chu Tianxiao had already walked to the center of Baoxuanju, pointed at a tripod floating in the air with inscriptions all over it, and said, "I want it."

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked, and Mu Liuling almost fell to the ground. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he looked ecstatic!

"Young Master... This is the treasure of our store. Are you sure you want it?"

Chu Tianxiao threw out a crystal card: "Take it down and let me see it."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper was immediately full of energy. Soon, the ban in the air was lifted, and then the original appearance of the giant tripod was completely presented to everyone.

This is a purple tripod about three meters long with eight legs. Each leg is carved with a strange character, which flickers with bright lights. It looks mysterious and seems to embody some kind of truth, making people indulge in it uncontrollably.

However, the most surprising thing is that this tripod actually has five vents, each of which is carved with lifelike patterns. They look like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast. Just by swinging it, it naturally exudes a majestic momentum!

It feels like a piece of art and a murder weapon placed together, which is attractive and full of wild beauty of killing...

There was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air in the field. Some refiners who had been searching for years to find a cauldron that suited them were so excited that they trembled all over. They even felt that if they could use this cauldron to refine a weapon once, they would have no regrets in their lives...

The crowd started talking again.

"Is this the treasure of Baoxuanju?"

"I didn't realize it when I was just looking at it in the fog, but now it's right in front of me... It's really... not bad."

"You've got me a little tempted. If I could use a cauldron like this to refine a weapon..."

"Haha, stop dreaming! Do you know how much spirit coins this tripod is worth?"

"How many can there be? Isn't it just a cauldron for refining weapons? One million at most should be enough!"

"Ignorance... The last time this tripod was taken out, the asking price was 3.4 million!"

"What!?"

When the figure of '3.4 million' was announced, the fire of desire in some people's eyes was immediately extinguished, and many people shouted loudly: "How can it be so expensive!"

"Everyone knows that the cauldron of a weapon refiner is not the key. It is not the 'medicine cauldron' of a pharmacist. Are they trying to steal money by making it so expensive?"

"You don't know this..." Seeing the excitement among the crowd, an old weapon refiner stood up and said, "The reason why this purple tripod is regarded as the treasure of Baoxuanju is because... it is an ancient tripod!"

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed drastically, even Mu Liuling, who looked at the tripod with a hint of curiosity at this moment - the so-called ancient tripod, it is rumored that it is a kind of strange tripod handed down from ancient times that can be used to refine medicine, refine tools, and refine various other things with excellent effects... Of course, this statement is a bit arbitrary, but it is a common consensus that the "lifespan" of ancient tripods is more than two hundred years.

Logically, this kind of tripod should be rare and expensive, but the fact is not so - because each "ancient tripod" requires a special refining method to truly bring out this characteristic, and what's more troublesome is that the "methods" of different ancient tripods are actually different... If you don't know the right method, the effect will be equivalent to a tripod made of ordinary materials, and even if you mess around with it, it may become a useless tripod... Some people speculate that the legendary ancient refining method can control any ancient tripod at will, but the ancient refining technique has long been lost, so no one knows whether this speculation is accurate...

Over time, as more and more of these things are unearthed, they gradually become just for show after their eyeballs have worn off. Perhaps some people who claim to have great fortune will still buy them, but most people will just stay away from them because of their prices...

It is for this reason that, although many people have been attracted to this tripod over the years, in the end, it still remains unsold.

"Young Master, this is an ancient tripod! An ancient tripod that is used for refining equipment! Even if you cannot solve the mystery when you buy it, you can still use it to refine equipment. If you succeed, won't you make even more money?"

The shopkeeper spoke these words out of context and misleadingly, but they were spoken very fluently.

"Well... I'll give you a discount, young master. This tripod is worth 2.8 million. How about that?"

To be the shopkeeper of Baoxuanju, this person is not simple. Obviously, his offer was very attractive after someone else had already offered 3.4 million, but he didn't expect...

Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "Three million, to make it a round number! Are you going to sell it or not? If you want to sell it, pack it up. If not, forget it!"

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper, who had been planning to use many tricks, suddenly felt like something stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a word. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh: "Sell! Sell!"

Mu Liuling pressed his forehead with a helpless look on his face.

"Young Master... after buying such a tripod, our money is even tighter..." After leaving Baoxuanju, Mu Liuling followed Chu Tianxiao with a wry smile, "Even if you really want to refine jewelry, you don't need to buy such a good tripod... 1.5 million wasteland, 3 million tripod, just for... refining jewelry? Young Master, this, this is too wasteful..."

"Is it a waste of God's gifts?" Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, let's go to the last place and finish the last thing, and then you will know whether this is a waste of God's gifts or not."

"Where?" Mu Liuling was stunned when he heard that.

"Heh... Let's go to Qingru Tower."

Mu Liuling staggered suddenly: "Young Master! Can you be serious!"

Chu Tianxiao raised his head and said, "I am serious... Oh, by the way, Liu Ling, it's almost time, you don't have to follow me anymore, here, hand this invitation to someone..."

As he spoke, Chu Tianxiao produced an invitation from his hand like a magic trick and threw it to Mu Liuling. She took it and looked at it, and immediately raised her eyebrows slightly: "Young Master... this?"

That evening, at the Qin family.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of crazy laughter came from afar.

“A prodigal is a prodigal! Only he can do such a ridiculous thing!” Several people laughed loudly, and the steward Qiu was in a very good mood: “I know very well that the Purple Marquisate can only allocate 4 million to Chu Tianxiao at most now, or even less! But he lost 3 million with this move, hehe... This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard!”

"Yeah, a prodigal son, that's all he can accomplish."

"This loser knows no occasion. He is doomed this time."

"Yes, our first batch of treasures will be ready soon. By then..."

"That will be the end of the Tianjue Chu family! I never thought that the previously unbreakable Tianjue Chu family would be destroyed by a prodigal son!"

"Haha, Marquis Zi Yi's son is well-born..."

"I heard that they have been busy working on it since they got the tripod. Maybe they have quickly completed a batch..."

"Haha, what can be made out of that pile of scrap copper and iron? Does this prodigal think that just having enough is enough? Huh? Hahaha!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, with some sarcasm in their words, obviously they had already decided on victory, and at this moment, a report voice suddenly came from outside the door. Qin Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the first seat, fixed her beautiful eyes, and saw someone approaching and handing her an invitation.

There was nothing special about the material of this invitation, but the content on it made Qin Jiaojiao furious when she saw it!

"The first jewelry exhibition in Tianjue City will be held tomorrow. I will then display the first batch of jewelry made by the Tianjue Chu family... I sincerely invite Miss Jiaojiao to come and see how she lost."

The signature is.

"A handsome and cute loser."
